> I >suppose Chris is going to Windows in his next CSTAL version because that >is the future or at least the present because finally, there is a last >argument that cannot be refuted: we, customers, want windows. I am a customer too - I have bought many programs so far. I will not accept a OS that is bigger blasted bigger and bigger just because "MINIFLUSS"-Microsoft has a contract with all kinds of HD-companies. >And when I >say customers I refer not only to a bunch of computerized wizards that >loves to expend half a day looking for the best config for getting an >extra kilobyte of hash tables. Nonsense. When I use Fritz3 (A DOS PROGRAM!!) I get more hash than Fritz5 under WIN with fritz3-engine. The same with Hiarcs6 under DOS and Hiarcs6 under Fritz5 and hiarcs6 engine. I don't talk about the speed difference ! The same with Genius ! My DOS version of Genius5 gets always more hash than my windows version. WHY ? Because the OS WIN95/3.1 or whatever Microsoft OS needs so much resources that there is not enough left for the chess program. I have NOT bought 3 pc's to make Mr.Gates confident or to make my OS confident. The only reason I have a pc if to make me confident ! >Maybe I am getting old, but, I repeat, I >got tired of that ceremony and his many problems. Hm. I am 30 ! Is this old ? >Please Chris, give us >wiondows.people wants windows. God ask for windows. Ok - if you believe in GOD (Bill Gates looks more like the antichrist than GOD) - take WIN. > Let DOS for Mr Spock >and the captain of the Enterprise. Right. And for the captain of the starship Orion, Commander Mclane, too. I don't believe in people who need 50 or 60 Megabytes of space just to make my chess-program run. This is redundant. I want to play chess and not OS.
